Moses Mike lights up every alarm in my head. He's a walking red flag.
Here's a thread about him and Matt Gaetz and their "adopted" sons. With receipts. #politics
As Mike Johnson cuts off aid to Ukraine, we need to see why he’s obeying Trump. People with secrets comply - and Johnson is almost certainly a child abuser. From 2019-2023 he told 3 different stories about his “adopted son”, all lies. This 🧵 reviews them - and Matt Gaetz
Thank goddess he's not on SCOTUS

Merrick Garland Must Go
In his timidity and determination to be “apolitical,” the attorney general has failed to do the very thing he was appointed to do—pursue justice and accountability. #doj #politics

GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski said it was unclear who could trust the GOP to negotiate after they scuttled the bipartisan border bill.
She told me: “I’ve gone through the multile stages of grief. Today I’m just pissed off.”
“I have a difficult time understanding again how anyone else in the future is going to want to be on that negotiating team — on anything —- if we are going to be against it,” Murkowksi added. #politics #republicanfuckery

Murkowski frustrated with border hold up:
“It was the Republicans, I will remind you, that told Democrats months ago that if you want to try to get your Ukraine funding, you're gonna have to take up the border issue. This is what we asked for.. let's take up what we asked for."

“So do not be surprised if the next thing we hear from Liz Cheney is she is running for Senate in Virginia in 2024, or in 2026. So let's please stop the Liz Cheney love & be ready for what the plan really is, which is to get Dems to fall in love with her; & then we lose a Senate seat that we shouldn't lose.”

There’s a storm coming. We all know it. And yet Americans are pretending that everything is normal.
We are going to be confronted with an existential crisis eleven months from now. And the majority of Americans don’t care

Santos, while walking out:
"Why would I want to stay here?” he said. “To hell with this place.”
The League of Women Voters of Mississippi is extremely frustrated that registered voters in our state didn't have the ability to cast their vote due to not printing enough ballots. Every voice matters. Every vote should count in the right to self govern and elect representatives in a fair, legal, and peaceful manner as a fundamental basis for our society. We call on Michael Watson to do a thorough investigation and public report on the details and causes...
